Chapter 2. Preparing to boot

Like any other system, machines based on PA-RISC processors have to
go through several steps in order to get Linux up and running. The next
section introduces you to the early boot management of your PA-RISC computer.
(By the way, to be a bit less awkward, we might from time to time call it a
'PA' box). This chapter will give you some
key concepts like BOOT_ADMIN.
